In the morning, one of the crewmembers drove their van onto a curb. They got a wheel stuck for a solid 10 minutes before we could get it out. The bottom of the van screeched as it rolled off--it didn’t sound too great. I don’t think we’re getting our security deposits back. You can actually see it in one of the pictures.
Biking felt like swimming because of heavy rain all day. We were in traffic between cities for most of the 30 miles to Iowa City. After waiting in a park for 45 minutes, the police escorted us to the University of Iowa campus. Of course, we got lost on the way and had to separate from the vans to take a path directly across campus to actually get to our destination. We arrived in the direction opposite to the one we were supposed to, so we had to re-arrive in order for the cameras and news crews to readjust.
After our arrival to the old Capitol building (now part of the campus), we were welcomed into the grand hall of the building, where a few speakers had prepared speeches for us. During one of them, the advisor to the Sororities and Fraternities of University of Iowa asked if Ryan Novak (we call him “Slow-vak”), a student of theirs, was present. He answered with a prompt, “wazzup?” * Slaps forehead *
Once we got to the hotel, the rooms were not ready, so we had to wait an hour before 4 of them opened up. We stuffed all of ours things into them and left, in our drenched jerseys, for lunch at the Theta Theta chapter.
Ugh.
